The purpose of this research was to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the Abstinence and Contraception Education Storehouse (ACES), a digital, classroom-based resource designed to supplement existing sex education curricula with highly interactive materials such as video clips, multimedia polls and quizzes, and audiovisual demonstrations. Three hundred thirty-five students aged 14 to 19 were randomly assigned to an ACES-based (treatment) or a standard (control)sex education curriculum. Data were collected at the onset of the intervention and 3 months after the completion of the intervention. Preliminary results were highly encouraging, with ACES participants who were sexually initiated at baseline reporting (at the 3-month follow-up) significant reductions in the number of times they had sex in the past 4 weeks. Both sexually initiated and non–sexually initiated youth who experienced the ACES curriculum also demonstrated greater intent to abstain from the sex during the follow-up period than did those in the control group.

Example 5: Internet use in class leads to lower test scores  

New research provides a warning to school children who like to use the Internet in class. Surfing the Internet in class has been linked to poorer test scores. This effect, of relatively lower grades, applies to the brightest students as well as to those in the middle of the scholastic achievement distribution. The research has come from Michigan State University. For the study, the researchers examined laptop use in an introductory psychology course. This revealed that the typical time spent browsing the web, for non-class-related purposes, was 37 minutes during a one-hour lecture. With those who undertook the highest Internet use, the academic performance of the students suffered as measured by their final exam scores. The overall motivation of the students and their intelligence were insufficient to compensate for the lack of attention paid to the lecturer. Intelligence was measured by ACT (American College Testing) scores, a standardized test for high school achievement. Motivation to succeed in class was measured by an online survey, with the results interpreted by the researchers. Discussing the outcomes further, Professor Susan Ravizza stated: "The detrimental relationship associated with non-academic internet use raises questions about the policy of encouraging students to bring their laptops to class when they are unnecessary for class use." A second observation of interest was that taking notes on a laptop is not as beneficial for learning as writing notes by hand. This again was shown up in student test scores.
